It seems with launch of tech these days u get the rough before smooth ps4 is same so far only work around is to not install 1.50 but of cause this means no online OK add suspect Sony will issue update 1.51 in time for EU release so now I'm wondering if Xbox has learnt from rrod
Sorry was late at night basically the day 1 update is bricking consoles and causing HDMI port to not function correctly but I'm betting Sony will remedy it with new fw
I dont even think its the day one update, a lot of them just seem dead on arrival going by verified Amazon purchases: Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: PlayStation 4: Launch Edition
It seems to me like Sony has rushed the production of PlayStation 4 to beat Microsoft's Xbox One to it, and there's also the fact that it's produced in China under Foxconn whom employees aren't treated with proper health, wage or respect. I do wish that PlayStation was still produced in Japan like the early PS3s were.
